West Chester Veterans Day Parade set for Sunday

WEST CHESTER – The Veterans Day Parade this year will march into the business district Sunday to a ceremony on the east steps of the Old Courthouse on High Street.

Starting at 2 p.m., the parade will run from the Penn Street side of Henderson High School, to Gay Street, and then uptown to the courthouse.

The speaking program is scheduled to begin at 3 p.m.

A special guest this year will be Frank C. Cantatore, who will be 90 on Monday. He was a U.S. Army Air Forces veteran of World War II.

An assortment of military and civilian vehicles for the parade will gather at 1 p.m. at the high school.

The West Chester Veterans Council said the parade route into town ending at the courthouse was chosen to bring more people into the borough center. Normally, the parade starts uptown and ends at the Veterans Memorial at Borough Hall at Gay and Adams.
